I know, but the eyes one is even more hilariously impossible. I mean he's completely intact except his eyes have shifted a foot to the right.
It's like Miura went "gently caress i haven't drawn anyone getting stabbed in the eyes for a while. Time to catch up."

A bunch of people with obviously fatal injuries except the guy who just lost a nose, that has to be the least dramatic injury every, the loss of a nose. And the worst part is the guy dies, since all the commanders die, from getting his nose ripped off by an arrow.

Speculation time!

Reading Chapter 290, i started wondering will the next disaster consist of all his new friends dying? It would be evil, unexpected and oh-so-much like Berserk so far. I'm calling that someone dies in a suitably horrific fashion in front of Guts, and he is led to believe they all did.Cue guts going completely and utterly apeshit in the Berserker's Armor for a while, possibly killing more of his friends

I don't think Guts will actually kill any of his friends himself, but I agree they've all been alive too long now. Unless it's Serpico, who will die in his final duel against Guts, in the process stopping him from killing anyone else. I'm going to guess Isidro dies first, because he's the least important to the plot.

Bear in mind this is an Apostle's arrow we're talking about here. The arrow probably exited from his nasal cavity after bisecting his auditory cortex, leaving the sound of screaming children ringing in his ears as he died.

I agree with this. To me it seems more like Guts and Griffith are both reforming there personal "Band of Hawk"s and Guts will most likely keep his friends close until the near end. Guts has actually had traveling companions for the majority of this manga.

There's been the "what will happen when the group finds out exactly how hosed up Guts is?" moment that's been hinted at for quite some time now. They've all got to live at least past that.

Keep in mind, they know pretty much nothing about him or his past, other than he is a walking murder machine who manages to attract demons like poo poo attracts flies.

I don't know if that'd make much of a difference. Isidoro would probabally respect/ idolize Guts even more knowing that he was the famous (infamous?) Raid Leader of the Band of the Hawks; he after all was talking about how amazing and how he wants to be like that but couldn't remember the guy's name :haw:

However, I think everyone (other then maybe Farneze) would probabally ally with Guts after hearing about Griffith and the Eclipse. Farneze might not because she's sort of torn between her upbringing as a zealot and her new life. Griffith basically is, to the world, literally a Saint, a messenger from god, a savior. Her religious inklings may lead her back to that.

I agree that if any of them are going to bite the dust, it's Serpico. Something about him just screams "heroic last ditch sacrifice."

This, obviously, is where Toady One got his damage model for arrows in Dwarf Fortress.

And I'm thinking Serpico is indeed the most likely one to die. Farnese is currently in transition to being a magic-user; she won't die until she's reached that goal. Schierke won't die (at least, not first), and there's no way that Caska will get killed off. Isidoro might die, but I think Serpico is more likely.

Maybe someday somehow someone will decide to redo the anime in an OVA format like they are doing with Hellsing. :devil:

Mr. Deathy
Aug 3, 2003

There's rumours about a new anime series/ova's endlessly, all the time, it just never ends up coming to be. Apparently the original series wasn't really hugely successful due to its late time slot or something.

I guess there's also the fact though that Miura could still be working on this in 10 years time, if not longer, so if they made a new series then it could only go so far before they had to take a break for several years again.

OVA's would be the best bet probably, sort of like how things with Hellsing are, with releases being as inconsistent as those of manga chapters. That'd be one shitload of ova's though.

Apparently Miura made an april fool's image for Young Animal. Besides the obvious joke here I think a time jump might actually be possible in this story. It's happened before. Either way, we're still stuck with this one for the long haul. :(

I know that image is possibly a joke, but I think it's a good sign that Miura intends on eventually healing Caska (notice that she's wearing armor). And old Isidoro looks pretty awesome.

The obvious joke is Guts bowing down before Griffith, right?

No,he's slowly walking up to him to administer the killing blow. Notice he's bleeding all over the place. The joke is the story has been going on for so long that both Guts and Griffith look like they want to get it over with.

It's a guarantee that there will be something more mindfucking(no pun intended) that later on right?
I really hope so because it's fun to be shocked like that.

Well, I just caught up to where all of you guys are. I had started it from the very beginning. One of my friends had told me to read but I never got around to it. I have to say I was not disappointed. At first, it was ok, no better than Hellsing. Well after finishing up, I can say now that it is the most badass thing I have ever laid eyes on. This loving rocks. I should go watch the anime next.

Hahahaha. My friend, the worst is yet to come. Miura makes sure you really, really don't sympathize with people/ characters that are supposed to be bad. His method of doing this is rape. Also murder too but still.

Caska is a tired old woman, Guts looks like Godo on a bad day, Puck's turned into Yoda, and both Isidro and Schierke have sprouted chins to rival Rod Hull.

Guts would only be in his early 40's, so it doesn't really make that much sense to me why he would have so much white hair. But then again the Berserker's armor already started whiting out some of it because of his frayed nerves or whatever. Still a pretty funny/cool image.
